"It's society's turn", Gjekmarkaj: Berisha should not leave,

Democratic Deputy Speaker of the Assembly Agron Gjekmarkaj, who managed to secure the mandate of MP on May 11, distances himself from those who think that Sali Berisha should step down from the leadership of the DP, after the defeat in these elections.

In an interview for Top Channel, he emphasizes that Sali Berisha has no reason to resign because, according to him, he was faced with a farce and that he gave his all. 

"I think Albania suffered a loss. Democratic standards suffered a loss. The DP fought to prevent this from happening so that Albania could change. Sali Berisha has no reason to resign in terms of the conditions in which the country finds itself because he faced a farce because he gave his maximum. The DP did everything. Now it is the turn of society to do its part.

"The socialists are demanding Berisha's resignation. The democrats are not demanding it. People close to the government are demanding it. Society is not demanding it. So Sali Berisha is within his right to lead the opposition and I think he will do this job well," says Gjekmarkaj.

But while within the DP there has begun a competition within itself for preferential votes in the May 11 elections, Agron Gjekmarkaj supports the demands of his Democratic colleagues for a vote recount.

"I think it is everyone's right to demand transparency. Transparency can be accompanied by debates, it is the most normal thing. The DP is a party of debate and space. It is part of everyone's rights and they use their rights as they think is best because the cult of the sanctity of the individual in the DP is very strong ," he adds.
